Plot | This war film tells the story of a martyr who gave his life in order to save his comrades. It pays tribute to Dong at the same time as it glorifies the Communist revolution and provides a model for the audience to imitate. During the battle to liberate Longhua, Dong and his team are assigned to blow up the enemy’s block houses and so clear a path for the attacking forces. Dong finally uses his own arm as support for the dynamite. He lights the fuse and blows up the bridge. (Encyclopedia of Chinese Fil m, ed.Xiao Zhiwei, Zhang Yingjin)
